Egress and CrowdStrike partner to prevent cloud email-based threats

Integration with the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon Platform enhances Egress’ adaptive security model with identity risk data

Egress has announced a new integration with CrowdStrike to enhance the way organisations manage human risk in email.

The integration of the Egress intelligent email security suite with the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform enhances Egress' adaptive security model with identity risk scoring from CrowdStrike identity threat protection.

Egress offers a security model for cloud email that automates threat protection and transforming human risk management on email.

The Egress intelligent email security suite combines adaptive security architecture with AI-based detection capabilities to defend organisations from advanced phishing attacks, human error, and data loss.

Egress generates aggregated individual risk scores by augmenting product telemetry, open-source intelligence, and behavioural data with threat intelligence taken from any third-party security application via a two-way open API.

When a score reaches a higher risk threshold, products in the intelligent email security platform automatically adapt their controls to defend against advanced inbound and outbound threats.

Following the announcement, Egress' risk score will be enriched with data from the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform to provide a holistic view of user human risk.

Egress CEO Tony Pepper commented: "Every year, reports from across the industry highlight that the human element is involved in the majority of security incidents.

"Changing this narrative is only possible if vendors work together to share intelligence that can be aggregated to provide a hyper-accurate understanding of human risk across an organisation.

"As technology suppliers within the customer ecosystem, we can all leverage enhanced user risk scores to automate better protection and surface insights that can be rapidly actioned by security teams.

"Today's announcement is a positive step in that direction for Egress customers, enabling them to dynamically respond as risk changes across their estate and prepare for threats before they materialise."
